341 PM EDT Tue Jul 18 2023
…FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM EDT WEDNESDAY…
* WHAT…Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
* WHERE…Portions of northern New York, including Clinton and Essex
counties. All of central and northern Vermont.
* WHEN…Until 2 AM EDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS…Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains
and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and
streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Slow-moving shower and thunderstorm activity will track
eastward across the watch area this afternoon and evening.
Rainfall amounts from this afternoon and evening`s
thunderstorm activity could reach 1 to 2 inches per hour with
the stronger storms. Recent heavy rainfall has led to soil
conditions across the region being completely saturated. The
ground has no capacity to absorb heavy rainfall which leads
to immediate runoff into creeks and streams and can cause
renewed flash flooding.
